How is subliminal messaging affecting you?

Deciding What To Believe

It's no secret that subliminal messaging, and all the marketing that can stem from it, is a highly valued strategy for major corporations to master. These hidden messages, that are fabricated for financial and political gain, harbor the collective independence that many influential media outlets take advantage of today. Said media platforms are backed primarily by financial powerhouses, some of which control primary banking networks and therefore have endless power to continue funding their own agendas.

I believe that once upon a time media platforms practiced authenticity and integrity, but with the ever-so-alluring temptation of the dollar, a serious halt has been placed on these priorities. However, there are brief moments of unbiased fortune telling that seem to slip through the usual agendas. Yes, fortune telling sounds mythical and childish, but very specific events are being eluded to, and eventually some are being fulfilled in real world scenarios. Could it be just a trickling coincidence, caused by a statistical fluke? Or is it done with a purpose and intended to be decoded by those who might qualify to do so? I would prefer to believe that some very wise, genuine minds have a clear vision - to inform the public, rather than keep the people overwhelmingly shrouded in darkness. I do, though, understand that not everything is so black and white. A tremendous gray area occupies the region in between cold hard facts and blatant lies.

Having a source for meaningful news, whether it is hidden behind an alternate ego, or it is publicly available to everyone, is a key to successful research and staying informed. In a time where nations are severely divided into hundreds of equally stubborn and opposing groups, a factual conversation is hard to come by. If the ideas being fed to us through subliminal messaging were fostered and approached with an open mind, the possibility of a continental awakening presents itself in exciting fashion. More and more people are beginning to latch on to these ideas. They are dropping the popular stereotype that individuals seeking the truth, despite their methods of doing so, are not just scrambled-egg-brain conspirators.

Whether you believe in the idea that an altruistic Big Brother is looking out for us by providing snippets of truth or not, maintaining your own logistical arsenal of knowledge, relating to relevant events, ensures the safety of independent beliefs and a non-conforming platform to stand on.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
